# Character encoding issues

 * There seems to be Character encoding issues with international letters like the
   danish æøå.
 * Whenever the smart caching tries to handle an image with special characters in
   it, it fails.
    An example could be the following image: [https://squazz.dk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Sparegris-p%C3%A5-en-bunke-penge.jpg](https://squazz.dk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Sparegris-p%C3%A5-en-bunke-penge.jpg)
   This image could not be handled by the smart cache, so I ended up generating 
   thumbnails for all images with another plugin. Resulting in the focal point set
   by this plugin, not being used.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcharacter-encoding-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * 1.0.7 should solve the problem.

 * For some reason it doesn’t seem to work.
    I enabled the plugin, cleared the cache,
   and now quite a lot of my images are without the additional sizes, only the originals
   are present.
 * I havn’t been able to pin-point exactly what the common thing for the images 
   is. It’s not only images with æøå in them.
